HB Transmissions & Auto Repair

These guys charge me thousands more than other shops would have. Brought my Ford Fusion in due to my transmission slipping. They charged me $1800 to pull the transmission and diagnose. Then telling me it would take over $5000 more to do the repair. Total repair bill was $6950. Absolutely ridiculous. After paying the initial diagnosis fee, I was stuck with them because after speaking with other transmission shops, it was gonna cost about the same at this point. I went to the shop on the advice of my normal mechanic that I trust. I did go talk to three other shops after I found out it was gonna be $7000 and the other three were competitively priced and all right at about $5000 including diagnosis. That was if it had to have every single thing rebuilt. I also found out I could've had a factory rebuilt Ford transmission installed by my normal mechanic for less money. That would've had a 3 year warranty and would've been honored at any Ford dealer. HP transmission only has a two-year warranty. They completely overcharged me. The transmission does work as it should now.

AVOID THIS SHOP — Dishonest and Predatory I brought my 1976 Pontiac Firebird in knowing exactly what was wrong — a transmission accumulator O-ring leak. I told Adrian Ciejka specifically what I needed done and informed him I had already replaced the filler tube O-ring, installed a Moroso transmission pan gasket, and replaced the speedometer gear and O-ring myself. The fluid visible on the inspection cover was clearly seepage from the accumulator O-ring — exactly what I told him before he even looked at it. Instead of listening, he claimed the filler tube was also leaking and then told me the transmission would need to be dropped and the crossmember removed just to replace the accumulator O-ring. This is factually incorrect — the accumulator on a TH350 transmission is accessible from the outside without dropping the transmission or removing the crossmember. Either he doesn't know basic transmission repair on a common GM unit, or he was deliberately misleading me to justify a full reseal at $400+. When I declined and asked to pick up my car, he charged me $180 just to remove an inspection cover — a 10 minute job with no upfront disclosure of the diagnostic fee and no discussion of cost before proceeding. To make it worse, I dropped the car off with the transmission fluid low and picked it up overfilled by half a quart. An overfilled transmission leaks more visibly — a well known trick used by dishonest shops to justify expensive repairs the customer doesn't need. I paid $60 in Lyft fees to get there and back, $180 for nothing, and left with my car unrepaired and the fluid level tampered with. Classic car owners beware. This shop does not listen to the customer, fabricates unnecessary repairs, and will upsell you on work you don't need. Find someone honest who will do the job you ask for. This is not that shop.

I suffered for 6 months with a car that didnt run right, was afraid to take it on the freeway. I took it to another shop (that shall remain nameless) and they gladly replaced my clutch for a cool 2200. Wasn't the issue. That shop had 4 tries to figure it out. They insisted it was normal. I took my car to HB Transmissions and it was diagnosed and fixed in about 24 hours. A+

Adrian at HB Transmission & Auto Repair truly deserves all the praise. I had the transmission filter and fluid replaced with Amsoil, along with a PPE transmission pan installed on my 2023 F-150 Raptor. The team did an outstanding job with clear, professional communication from start to finish. They even re-tightened a loose jam nut I had previously noticed and took the time to let me know about it. It’s a great feeling knowing I can trust a shop like this. I was so impressed, I already scheduled another appointment to have the radiator flushed on my daughter’s 2020 Sonata Hybrid. Highly recommend!

My vehicle started shaking while driving pass 30 miles ~ took it in and was told I needed an Idle Arm. Problem solved! Very pleased with the level of service I received here. Also~ While getting ready to leave I realized I needed my ladder on the back of my van repaired. When Adrian was getting started on another vehicle, he left that vehicle to look at my ladder and said he would research for me. He called me and he found the part I needed. I’m So Grateful to Bob & Adrian for their Superb Customer Service
